Again, months have gone by since our last post. So rather than wait any longer for the right combo of time and energy to come along, I'm just going to put up something quick in the hopes of starting a weekly habit. After a very fun summer, including our family's first true "vacation" trip (two full weeks up the North Coast into Oregon), we're settled back into life here in L.A.. Tony is three weeks into First Grade and loves it, Everett is three weeks into Pre-School and loves it, I'm four weeks into another semester of teaching and, well, I'm four weeks into another semester of teaching, and Audrey's finally getting into the rhythm of the new schedule.
There was no soccer this weekend on account of the big Jewish and Muslim holidays. So we took the rare Fall Saturday off and went out to the L.A. County Fair. It was the usual good time, and like last year, not too hot. I already knew I had scored a second place in one of the homebrewing categories, but Audrey was very pleasantly surprised to learn that she not only took home a whole slew of ribbons, but also the Best in Show award for the Hand Embroidery division. Congratulations! We celebrated with the usual mix of Fair treats--although Audrey and the boys somehow missed out on the cotton candy. I did manage the trifecta, though, with tacos, craft beer, and handmade ice cream!! As you can imagine, today was recovery day for all of us back here at home--especially for me following a pretty nasty cold all last week. For a recovery day, though, it does sure seem like I did a lot of work.
As always, check out our Flickr page for photos.
